Hawkins County Schools will be CLOSED Tuesday, October 1, 2024. We will continue to monitor area conditions through EMA, 911, and the electrical power companies.
While we know it is important to open school sites, especially when they have largely been unharmed by recent storms, we do not want to rush the decision. After a late Sunday afternoon update from Holston Electric and EMS, Hawkins County Schools will not be in session tomorrow, September 30. However, in order to provide needed resources and services to our communities, we will offer open school sites for charging stations and other resources. If you are in need and can safely access one of our school sites during school hours, please do so. Thank you for your patience as we take all information into consideration.
If you or your student has a need of any kind (food, water, shower, laundry) please send me a message or text to 423-327-0179 or call 272-7629 ext. 2056! We will work to help meet these needs within our community.
Due to increased threats of flooding and wind tonight through tomorrow afternoon, Hawkins County Schools will be closed Friday, September 27, 2024. Please stay safe and watch for weather alerts and updates this afternoon and evening as the storm approaches.
Due to continued rains, flooding potential, and wind advisories overnight and into Thursday, Hawkins County Schools will be closed Thursday, September 26, 2024. Please watch for updates regarding school operations for Friday.
“Due to shifting radar outlook, we are going to release school sites at 1:30 today, which represents the best break in the rainfall to get students home. Please watch for additional updates regarding school operation tomorrow and Friday.”

Direct parent calls/texts. Our HCS App will be used to push voice messages and texts. Please ensure you have current contact info in our student database (Skyward) and that the school your child attends has this information correctly listed. If you have not uploaded the HCS app, please do so as soon as possible here: Apple users: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/hawkins-county-school-district/id1668470905, and Android users: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.apptegy.hawkinscountysc&pli=1.

When law enforcement is actively investigating, we will not release information without their approval, due to our desire to not interfere or impede the investigation. What we have learned from our local threats, those occurring across the state, and nationally, is that the authors of these posts desire attention and disruption. I would ask that if you see a threat or troubling post on social media, please forward this information to law enforcement and school administration. Once authorities have verified they have received the information, these threats will be acted on immediately. Please do not forward to others. Please do not provide those who create such garbage a larger audience. Please allow officials to deal with the threats and pursue those who create this vile content. Remember, Report, don’t Repost!

A Green Lockdown (precautionary action where students are kept in classes and exterior of school is closed) was initiated this morning, 9/12 at VHS. This was an action taken out of precaution as law enforcement responded to a rumor. The lockdown lasted less than an hour this morning and did not affect class schedules.
